Well we don't have to just blindly guess, we could also look at some research.

> More than a third of abortion opponents (36%) say it should be legal if the pregnancy results from rape, with 27% saying “it depends” and 37% expressing opposition to legal abortion even in this situation https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2022/05/06/americas-abo...

...and the largest anti-abortion organization in the country agrees with the decision to deny her healthcare. Does that match their constituents' beliefs?

I would say that 37% of 37% of the population is quite a fringe position.

More than a third (not counting "it depends" respondents)?! I guess I define "fringe" as something other than "mainstream" but your definition may vary.

Is the agreement by the largest anti-abortion organization in the country to deny her healthcare in line with their constituents' beliefs?
